I remember the day when I first got Sandy, my 7 year old cat. I wanted to name her because she was so
cute. My older sister Michelle convinced me to name her Sandy Bucket instead; so we could call her
Sandy for short. I was so attached to Sandy. Every time I saw her, I couldnt walk away; I would just have
to hug her. I even slept at the end of my bed, so I can hug her the whole night even though I was freezing.
I always remember so many fun times with Sandy. Like when we would run and jump off the end of
our pier and Sandy would chase after us. When I was scared or mad, I would just hug Sandy and
everything wouldnt be so bad.
But one night, right before I went to bed, my mom let her out. While I went to sleep, my mom went to
call Sandy back in. But she didnt come in, so I thought she maybe went inside my neighbors house. As
my mom and dad went outside to look for Sandy, I became really worried. They couldnt find her. Every
ten minutes they would go out to look for her, so I went to bed hoping she was safe. I just thought she got
lost and would come back tomorrow.
The next day was the worst. My mom woke us early and told me and my sister, Michelle, that Sandy
died last night. I was so sad and did not want to do anything that day. When I was going to school, I could
not stop crying. At school all my friends made me cards and tried to make me stop crying, but I couldnt.
My teacher would always look at me and ask why I was crying. Even my friends were crying with me.
When I got home I went to my room crying really loudly. I wanted to scream. I came downstairs and
hugged my mom. She said we could get another cat. Then, she was trying to find a new cat on the
internet. But I did not want another cat. I want Sandy. She never found one that looked like Sandy or at
the same age or even in the same kind.
That night I slept with my mom and we prayed for Sandy. I kept thinking she was a ghost at the end of
the bed, so I stayed closed to my mom. The next day I figured out that if Sandy was a ghost, she would
not scare me or haunt me. She would be waiting for me to play with her.
I still think about Sandy every day and wish she could come back.

A Visit to a Wildlife Park

e.

I recently visited Sydney with my parents. We visited many interesting places. The one I enjoyed best was
the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has a lot different Australian animals and birds. There are over 600 animals, including
kangaroos, wallabies, koala and crocodiles. They are kept in their natural surroundings. I much preferred the
Wildlife Park to a zoo where a lot of animals are in cages.
We were able to walk along the kangaroos and wallabies. We were even allowed to touch them and to feed
them. It was very exciting to be very so close to them
We saw koala bears. They looked very cuddly. I got my photograph taken with one of them. It is a wonderful
souvenir of my holiday in Sydney.
We also went to see the crocodiles. The Wildlife Park has a lot of fresh-, water and salt-water crocodiles.
Some of them were very big and scary with, huge teeth. I did not get very close to them.
We also visited the aviary. There were some very colorful birds there. I really liked an old parrot which
could talk.
I wish we could have spent more time in the Wildlife Park. There were so much to see.
